My Visual Arts passion first came to me in a dream, that I would own my own Sip & Paint franchise.  The problem with that vision was I had no artistic talent (so I thought), and thought I needed to seek an established artist to partner with that could help bring this dream to fruition.  Though I thought that was the way The Most High was leading me... my offers were quickly rejected, and  I was left discouraged.  With the encouragement from a relative,   - who basically told me "If you want it bad enough, learn"... So I did just that.... with the help of online videos, I began sketching portraits and experimenting with textures & different color blending and shading.  In less than a year,  I painted my first painting named "Storm" in October 2017 that I was not quite pleased with... but again, I was encouraged to keep at it.   I can now say I am a God-Taught-Artist.  "Storm" was the seed that keeps on producing my passion every time the colors in me get on the tip of a brush and canvas.     After 1 year, I launched  The Nia Abstract Art Collection,  Nia Abstract Mobile Sip-n-Paint Parties, and  for the little artist in mind, Nia Abstract Sippy-n-Splatter that offer custom paint parties for all size groups and occasions to the Cultural Arts Community.
